Surface area question

[easyrider]

If I buy these are 305x 305 mm each there are 24 tiles in a pack £29.50

If I buy These are 1000mm x 500mm per unit £5.50 each





How many of the big tiles do I need to cover the same area as the small ones?

Which Offer the best value?

 

[Orionaut]

Depends on the shape/size of the area you are wanting to cover (You might have to allow for cutting which implies a degree of wastage)

too lazy to use a calculator?

You do know most OS's come with a calculator built in?

5 of the bigger gets you more coverage at a lower price.

And I'm assuming your units are wrong on the second one.

and the size of the room is?

 

[Greebo]

There are 2.2326m2 in the first pack so £13.21 per metre

The second pack is 0.5m2 so is £11 per metre so much cheaper. You need 4.46 big tiles to cover the same area.

However as Orionaut said, the bigger the tile, the more wastage you have depending how many corners you have.

6m x 5 m but I don't want to cover every single bit....

Area behind the drum kit for example...

Some slabs or tiles between the pictures...I don't want to completely deaden the sound.

hey,

I've not compared prices yet but it's probably cheaper to get them from efoam.

I had close to a cubic metre of acoustic foam cut into 60mm slabs from them.
they cut any size you want and sell by volume. they have the egg-crate profile too.

My whole garage is covered in this stuff because it was a music producers studio, it's also got carpet and lighting that look like they've been recovered from a strip club.

If it's wall-mounted sound baffling then can we assume the areas you cover will be more or less rectangular ? If so, the bigger ones are better value.

Yeah yeah, sure Easyrider

 

[HalfBakedJake]

Is the floor soundproofed as well?

Efoam is 4 x time more expensive mate

Quote for foam cut to size

Your selected shape: Acoustic foam rectangle
width 500mm, length 1000mm, thickness 40mm

£16.28 then 6.78 each after

If I buy These are 1000m x 500m per unit £5.50 each

Its on a rasied plinth with Kingspan underneath..Ive ordered some more rugs...

As I say I don't want to totally kill the room...

Having just noticed how successful you were at working out how much carpet you needed, this thread now makes sense...

 

[R B Customs]

ah okay no worries, it's a while since I used efoam and I remember the price to add one more just got lower and lower and lower, so by the time you had 12+ panels and extra one was aonther quid or so. it might have changed now (unless you try adding one more etc etc.)
certainly was the cheapest way to do mine but they were 1200mm x 600mm x 60mm board backed, wrapped panels.

acoustic panels have absolutly nothing to do with soundproofing, and vice versa.
